4. Help wanted
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Translation:

Download GPRename, extract it and go into the locale directory.
Use the template file to translate it then send it on the mailing list at:
gprename-users@lists.sourceforge.net

Note that some strings have a underscore ( _ ), use it as a mnemonics,
which is a letter underlined and you can call it with ALT-letter in the
application.  And, of course, don't underline 2 times the same letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. To do
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recursive options to re-implement

Create an RPM of the latest version available.

Ask the Gnome team if they need a renamer, KDE has one (KRename),
XFCE has one (Thunar), that is, if they accept software in GTK2-Perl,
then we could always rename GPRename to GRename.

Optimize the code, at over 6000 files GPRename doesn't respond very well.
